Solving "IDENTITY" is surely one way to approach a solution to the "How do we host everything ourselves" question... After all: what if you only really "carry" your digital identities with you and nothing else? What if ubiquitous login to any platform would always just work? What if you could easily move all your data from one cloud platform to the next? Solving the question of Identity is one piece of the puzzle, for sure, but only just that.

Check the apps that are being build by Synonym and Holepunch: 1. https://keet.io (a p2p chat and file transfer app). DHT is used to map your public key -> IP address. Currently in open Alpha. How is this better than Jitsi? Jitsi Meet uses a server to coordinate and merge WebRTC video streams, but it is fully E2E encrypted and decentralized as you can run your own instance. Much like Nostr versus other truly P2P alternatives. 2. https://www.impervious.ai (a browser with build in P2P functions). In closed Beta at the moment. 3. Holepunch is a platform for creating apps that don’t use any servers whatsoever. See also: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-07-28/tether-s-holepunch-takes-on-big-brother 4. Synonym (pun on "nym", maybe?) is also trying to solve identity: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/synonym-launches-architecture-for-self-sovereign-economy-around-bitcoin
